All workshop registrations are now closed.
We do not offer walk-in registrations for workshops.

There will also be a number of workshops held the day before the main conference. These pre-conference workshops require separate registration and payment.

Notice that some of these workshops are held at the same time. You can either register for one of the full-day (6 hour) workshops, or one or two half-day workshops. For convenience we have grouped the workshops here by format and time of day they are held.
